The Fallen Tree
This scene inspired me, while I was visiting Monhegan Island.
Bass Harbor Light
One of the most iconic images from Maine, Bass Harbor Light.
Winter Dry Dock

Ledges, Monhegan Island
Summers I frequently spend time on Monhegan Island. It is truely beautiful when the ocean meets the rocky shore of the island. I wanted to accentuate some of the unusual colors of the rocks and seaweed.
